Could this be a drive issue instead of a k3b issue? Does it play dvd's back at regular/expected speed or are they choppy. It could very well be that if you're using the ata_piix module for the drive, that you have to add some options to get it to perform properly. I had to do this on my dell 9300 laptop under c5, but afterwards things move pretty smoothly. Burning the c5 dvd takes about 2 minutes. --
It is not a drive issue. The same drive in the same machine works perfectly on Ubuntu 6.10 with K3B. It does not seem to have any problems reading disks either.
I guess I am gonna spend a whole evening doing tests and recording the results (CPU, throughtput, etc).

Also make some tests using nerolinux demo, it works fully until it expires. If it crawls under nerolinux, then it is definitely a driver issue.
